PRAGUE (Reuters) - Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala said on Wednesday he expected the scarf depicting "Greater Hungary" worn by Hungarian leader Viktor Orban will be discussed at a summit of Visegrad countries this week.

Orban wore the scarf at a football match, drawing protests from Ukraine and other countries as it pictured a map of "Greater Hungary" including territory that is now part of Austria, Slovakia, Romania, Croatia, Serbia, as well as Ukraine.
